Danish Researchers Discover Novel Way of Making Psilocybin from Kitchen Ingredient

Just as the immense potential of psilocybin is being recognized and accepted by the scientific community, researchers are already hard at work looking for new ways of making the chemical without having to rely on growing magic mushrooms on a large scale. To this end, a team of Danish researchers appears to have found an easy way to make this chemical by using yeast. The DTU Biosustain scientists discovered that a common species of yeast used in winemaking, brewing and baking can act as a host for psilocybin when this yeast is subjected to a process that the researchers refer…

3 Key Reasons Why Psychedelics Could Upset Big Pharmaceuticals

The early results from clinical studies on psychedelics have shown that these substances have immense potential to treat a number of mental disorders, and this has in turn triggered a major shift in public perception regarding these substances. One industry that is likely to follow these developments with a lot of interest is the pharmaceutical industry. Several reasons could explain why they have more than a casual interest in psychedelics.

Why Psychedelics Stocks May Currently Be Undervalued

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic sucker-punched the stock market, it was rather hard for investors to find worthwhile investment opportunities. It was therefore just a matter of time before a market correction occurred, and the coronavirus outbreak provided the trigger for this correction. However, as the markets nosedive, experienced investors know that such a correction presents new opportunities. One industry where there is huge potential for investors is the psychedelics sector. Just like the marijuana industry, psychedelics represent a novel way to treat not just mental but also physical ailments. However, that may be where the comparisons stop between those…

Colorado Nonprofit Launches Education Campaign about Psychedelics

"Let's Talk about Psychedelics" is a campaign by The Nowak Society, a Colorado-based nonprofit focused on public sensitization on psychedelics. The Nowak Society has been making considerable strides in normalizing the previously nonexistent conversation on psychedelics. On May 7, 2019, Denver became the first U.S. city to decriminalize the use of psilocybin mushrooms and other plant-based entheogens. This groundbreaking development can partly be attributed to The Society for Psychedelics Outreach Reform and Education (SPORE) having its roots in the city. Several months later, Oakland and Santa Cruz followed and decriminalized plant-based entheogens. This has led to a nationwide movement of…

What Drives People to Use Psychedelic Substances

Hallucinogens are undoubtedly becoming more popular each day the world over. With the decriminalization of psilocybin and other plant-based entheogens in some cities such as Denver and Santa Cruz, one cannot help but wonder, 'Why do people use psychedelic substances?' Well, all the hype around psychedelics is not unfounded. There are many psychedelic substances, from 'magic' mushrooms (which contain psilocybin) to Peyote (which contains DMT), to LSD, which all differ in their hallucinogenic intensity. However, they all have one important use, recreation. After a long, dull day of work or when you're bored, eating some 'magic' mushrooms will guarantee you…

Psychedelics Could Treat Physical Health Conditions

There is a general consensus in the research community that psychedelics have immense potential in the treatment of mental health conditions. As more scientists have picked interest in these substances, it is also becoming apparent that the therapeutic role of psychedelics could extend to treating physical health conditions that aren’t connected to one’s mental state. One big area where psychedelics could have numerous applications is in managing the inflammatory pathways responsible for several conditions afflicting humans. These disorders include those affecting the lungs, heart and the eyes. This exciting research is also focusing on the serotonin receptors, just as the…

Take Your Pick: Synthetic Psilocybin or Magic Mushroom Pills?

Decades ago, psychedelics like “magic mushrooms” were viewed as the preserve of the counterculture crowd who would be spotted chomping away on woody stems and dry caps. Today, a new picture of laboratory-produced synthetic psilocybin pills is emerging and it could soon send the consumption mode of yesteryears into oblivion. How did we get here? In 1963, Albert Hoffman, the Swiss scientist who synthesized LSD, received a small package containing 100 grams of magic mushrooms. This package was a gift from Maria Sabina, a Mazateca healer who hailed from Southern Mexico. Hoffman immediately went to work in his lab, and…

Mental Health Startup Aims to Help Patients Access Psychedelic Treatment

As the medical and scientific community embrace psychedelic treatment, and as regulators clear these treatments, a need has arisen to take prospective patients through the entire process so that they make informed decisions and know who to turn to for help. Osmind, a mental health startup, has risen to the occasion to provide the needed support. Osmind aims at creating a community for people seeking psychedelic treatments which have FDA-approval. Currently, only ketamine has this regulatory approval, but industry insiders expect similar approval to be given to psilocybin and MDMA. Osmind is building an app as well as an online…
